Human Evolution

[bhsmte]

The problem is Genesis chapter 1 is not a myth nor allegorical story or shouldn't be taken literally.

Why would we change and adjust the Truth to man's discovery of his interpretation of life?

I don't have problems, I know evolution is false especially with mankind.

Well Anya, you would have to produce evidence to show what men wrote in Genesis thousands of years ago to be correct.

Since no one has been able to do the same, I highly doubt you will be able to, but go ahead and give it a shot.

Again, I would recommend you stay away from scientific discoveries, as they seem to cause you undue stress.

 

[bhsmte]

I will post a list tonight...

Great.

Please be sure it is objective evidence, that can be tested and verified.

 

[anyathesword]

People realized that Genesis was allegory long before evolution came along, Anya.

It is not. It is completely different than the parables and the psalms and Proverbs in the Bible.

Why would it repeat "And God said" at least 10 times in the first chapter?

It is not a myth and is not a metaphor or a simile or an allegory story.

People who don't want to see this chapter as literal say it is allegory.

Ok (remember the evidence is the same as far as fossils and geology go)

Just the INTERPRETATION is different

 

[bhsmte]

Me too! And I will be sick to see my children Learning lies. Let me ask you this? Is God or man more knowledgable about the history of life?

Make sure your kids don't get their hands on any science books.

Why is it causing me stress?? It's the PEOPLE here and the way they respond is annoying sometimes.

It's fine!!

You can say that, but people have done just that, and they did it long before evolution or geology or even science in general was a thing. Allegorical interpretations are not a new thing.

 

[bhsmte]

Just the INTERPRETATION is different

Quite obviously, the evidence must objectively point directly at God with no other viable option. Just as, the fossil evidence and DNA evidence points directly to evolution.

lhlhlh

Just the INTERPRETATION is different

If you ever find yourself in a court case with all the evidence against you, don't bother getting a lawyer. Just tell the court the prosecution has it all wrong, and your interpretation has you being set up by evil garden gnomes.

If a Christian disagrees with you and states the theory of evolution is correct and Genesis is a myth, would call them a true Christian?

Because it makes for a good yarn. And yes, he is correct. People knew that the age of the Earth was hundreds of millions of years at least and that there was no Flood before Darwin's time.

Genesis had already been busted.

 

[Loudmouth]

Why would we change and adjust the Truth to man's discovery of his interpretation of life?

Why is your claimed Truth contradicted by mountains of evidence?

I don't have problems, I know evolution is false especially with mankind.

Then show that it is false using evidence.

 

[Loudmouth]

Me too! And I will be sick to see my children Learning lies.

If you are going to accuse people of telling lies, at least have the decency of demonstrating that they are lies.

I'm even talking about before that.

People were realizing that Genesis was allegory before the Bible was even complete.

 

[selfinflikted]

Because what you believe isn't the Truth™. That's precisely why.

 

[Seipai]

Just the INTERPRETATION is different

The thing is some INTERPRETATIONS can be wrong. I might find an "ancient text" that says:

"a mon avis"

Now I know a little Latin and know that "bird" in Latin is "avis". And "mon" looks very similar to mountain and therefore translate this phrase as:

"To Bird Mountain".

You might translate it differently. Whose translation would be correct? It is easy to show that the "translations" of evidence that creationists have is not correct.

I hope so

You know there are religious schools, and you can even fill out a form so that your kid doesn't attend classes on evolution even in public schools, right?

But I think you should talk with your kids about it and see if they want to learn about it or not instead of just making that choice for them.

 

[anyathesword]

If a Christian disagrees with you and states the theory of evolution is correct and Genesis is a myth, would call them a true Christian?

It would not be my place to say they are true Christian or not.

I'd say they need to reread the Bible completely to see if Genesis Chapter 1 is written as a myth or not.

And they would need to explain why animals don't participate in Church and are not worried about death, the afterlife, walking with Jesus, etc.
